From the tribunal's valuation
Having carefully considered all the evidence from the Landlord and the Tenant the Tribunal considers that an achievable rent for the property in a good marketable condition with reasonably modern kitchen and bathroom fittings, modern services with carpets curtains and white goods provided by the Landlord would be £240 per week. This figure is based upon the comparable evidence provided by the parties and the Tribunal’s professional judgement and experience. 11 The Tribunal has considered carefully the party’s submissions and using its own expertise, we consider a deduction of £20 per week should be applied to take into account no white goods other than a hob and oven, curtains provided by the Tenant and previous damp and mould to the wall adjacent the entrance door and poor plaster and damp/mould in the bedroom recess. This reduces the rental figure to £220 per week. It should be noted that this figure cannot be a simple arithmetical calculation and is not based on capital costs but is the Tribunal’s estimate of the amount by which the rent would need to be reduced to attract a tenant. … The rent increases are due to not enough properties coming to the market to meet demand and the number of homes for rent is 46 per cent below 2020 levels. This puts this decision in context with the current rental market. …
